You’ve been instrumental to development of the Mage updates.

Thank you for the great amount of feedback and testing during the Fractures in Time PTR. The intent with these tuning changes is not to disrupt the current flow, playstyles, or talent builds that have arisen with the updates but rather keep the relative balance and breakdown of abilities similar as the are now but with just a bit less output. This should make it easier for us to continue to iterate on tuning based on internal and external testing as the Fractures in Time PTR continues to develop. Due to this, in the latest build we’re reducing the damage of many of their spells to get us a better baseline to work from for the two specs. While some gain in power is to be expected due to these changes, their current tuning has them quite a bit higher than we intend. Developers’ notes: After several rounds of updates to the Fire and Frost talent trees, each tree has seen a significant boost in power, which in turn has put their overall throughput quite a bit higher than their live counterparts.Exhilarating Burst now increases critical healing effectiveness by an additional 30% per rank (was 15%).Rewind now rewinds 40% of damage taken in the last 5 seconds (was 50%).Born in Flame has been redesigned – Casting Ebon Might grants Burnout immediately and every 3 seconds for 6 seconds, reducing the cast time of Living Flame by 100% (was Ebon Might caused Living Flame to be instant cast for its duration).Ebon Might now increases all of the casting Evoker’s damage by 10%, instead of increasing Eruption’s damage by 20%.Aspect’s Favor increases Black Attunement to 10/16% (was 12.5/20%).

Black Attunement health bonus reduced to 4% (was 5%).

Prescience duration reduced to 18 seconds (was 20 seconds).

Mastery: Timewalker grants Shifting Sands to 1 ally (was 2).
